Abstract: Foams, three-dimensional (3D)-printed cellular and honeycomb structures, and very oblate particles dispersed in a matrix are the examples of heterogeneous media with thin-wall morphology. Phase boundaries can also be ...

Abstract: The statistical multiphase approach (MPA) proposed in the first part of this work to evaluate radiative properties of composite materials is applied to porous structures of opaque material and biological tissues. Radiative ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing by selective laser melting (SLM) is generally applicable to glasses while insufficient resistance of the material to thermal shocks due to local laser heating may result in cracking and a high viscosity ...

Abstract: Thermal shrinkage of the added material can distort the manufactured part and generate residual stresses. Experiments are carried out on growing the beams of rectangular cross section. The beams bend with formation of a ...
